INTRODUCTION
o Blood is the life fluid of the human body, and it is essential for health and
homeostasis.o This vasoconstriction is immediately followed by vasodilation, which
increases blood flow to the injured area in an attempt to dilute toxins and
provide the area with essential immune cells (e.g., neutrophils and
monocytes), nutrients, and oxygen.It is a plasma protein which aids in blood
coagulation through catalyzing the conversion of prothrombin to thrombin
o Plasmin is an enzyme that dissolves clots once healing has occurred Inflammatory Response
o Damage or trauma to body tissue triggers a series of reactions referred to
as the inflammatory response.o The approximately 5 liters of blood continuously circulating in the human body
provides nutrients and oxygen to tissues while aiding in the excretion of waste
products.Oxyhemoglobin

o Hematocrit refers to how much of the blood volume comprises erythrocytes or the
percentage of red cells in your blood..o Plasma is a transport medium that carries the blood cells as well as antibodies, nutrients, electrolytes, hormones, lipids, and waste products.o Inflammatory response is triggered by a set of mediators, or mast cells,
including: histamine (stimulates vasodilation) and prostaglandins
(stimulates pain receptors in the area).2.
